Multi-family development. Built from the ground up.
Optima develops, builds and owns purpose-built residential communities in Calgary while providing a turnkey path for landowners and partners who want to turn development land into a completed multi-family asset.
We build multi-family communities for ourselves and for others.
Our focus is intentionally narrow. We develop and construct purpose-built residential projects in Calgary, both for our own portfolio and as a turnkey development partner for others.

CMHC financing can materially change the economics of a multi-family project.
Under CMHC's MLI Select program, qualifying new multi-family construction can access financing of up to 95% of eligible project costs, while projects achieving the required MLI Select score may be considered for amortization periods of up to 50 years.
Optima has an established track record with CMHC-insured multi-family financing and brings the development, construction, budgeting and lender coordination experience needed to help a project move from land to a financeable, buildable plan.

We understand the finished asset because we live with the decisions.
Optima approaches development as both the builder and the long term owner. That perspective influences planning, budgeting, design, materials, construction quality and operating decisions from the outset.
A portfolio that shows the depth of the platform.
The completed work matters. Our portfolio includes a broad range of purpose-built multi-family projects across Calgary.
One connected process from first look to completed building.
The value of a turnkey platform is fewer handoffs, connected decisions and accountability as a project moves from opportunity through financing and construction.
